PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: 2 June 2026

We value your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit or interact with our website.

As a New Zealand-owned and operated business, we comply fully with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and its Information Privacy Principles (IPPs). By using this website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect personal information directly from you when you interact with our site, as well as automatically through our website infrastructure.

Depending on how you use our website, we may collect:

  • Contact Information: Your name, email address, phone number, and physical billing/shipping addresses (e.g., when you fill out a contact form, sign up for a newsletter, or make a purchase).

  • Transaction Data: Details about products or services you view or purchase from us, though we do not store full payment card details on our servers.

  • Correspondence: Any messages, feedback, or files you submit to us via digital forms or email. 

INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY

This website is hosted by Squarespace.

When you visit, Squarespace automatically collects certain data to power our site infrastructure, maintain security, and provide analytics.

This includes:

  • Information about your browser, network, and device

  • Web pages you visited prior to coming to this website

  • Your dynamic IP address

  • Your interactions with the site (clicks, internal links, pages visited, scrolling, searches, and timestamps) 

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We collect and use your personal information for clear, defined business purposes:

  • To Operate the Website: Ensuring the site loads correctly, remains secure, and functions as intended.

  • To Communicate With You: Responding to your direct inquiries, contact form submissions, and fulfilling requests.

  • Website Analytics: Reviewing anonymized, aggregated traffic data to understand how visitors interact with our content so we can continuously improve the experience.

  • Marketing (With Consent): Sending you updates, newsletters, or promotional material if you have explicitly opted into our mailing list. You can opt out of these communications at any time. 

SHARING YOUR DATA

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We only share your data with trusted service providers who help us run our business:

  • Squarespace: Our website platform and hosting provider. They receive your data to deliver website hosting and analytical services to us.

  • Payment Processors: If you make a purchase, your payment details are securely processed directly by our third-party payment gateways (such as Stripe or PayPal) under their own strict privacy policies.

  • Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required to do so by New Zealand law or to protect our legal rights. 

COOKIES AND DATA

This website uses cookies—small text files downloaded to your device—to help the site run effectively.

  1. Functional & Required Cookies: These are always used because they allow Squarespace to securely serve this website to you.

  2. Analytics & Performance Cookies: These are used to view site traffic and behavior patterns only when you acknowledge our website cookie banner. You can choose to accept or decline these cookies via the banner or adjust your browser settings to block cookies entirely. 

STORAGE AND SECURITY

We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. Because our website is built on Squarespace, some data may be securely transferred and stored on servers located outside of New Zealand (such as in the United States).

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required to meet legal and financial compliance obligations.

YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE NZ PRIVACY ACT 2020

You have strict rights regarding the personal information we hold about you. At any time, you have the right to:

  • Request access to any personal information we hold about you.

  • Request correction of that information if you believe it is incorrect, outdated, or incomplete.

  • Request deletion of your personal data from our systems (subject to any legal retention requirements).

  • If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond to your request within 20 working days, as required by law.
